Alright, just so you know where were starting off. Sometime after Lucy and Kevin's wedding Mary was working and Wilson was on the plane, they talked traded numbers and the whole bit. When Mary visits home a month or two later she runs into Wilson again, they go out for coffee to catch up. During this short weekend at home Mary remembers the love she had for Wilson and is determined not to let him get away again. A few months later Wilson and Mary got married. They moved to a small town a few hours North of GlenOak, so everyone could be close to their families. We begin about two years later.
********************************************************************
Wilson walked in the door of his little 3-bedroom house to find Billy sitting on the couch staring straight ahead, looking distraught.
"What's up buddy?" he said sitting on the arm of the couch, he looked back towards the kitchen, down the hall, but he didn't see Mary around," where's mom?" he asked.
Billy didn't look at his father but stared straight at the TV, "she's in the bathroom crying. She hasn't cried in a long time" Billy looked up at him sadly, "I thought you said everything was ok.it's not is it?"
Wilson had no idea what was wrong with Mary, she hadn't had a relapse in about 2 months, but he hoped there was another reason, "I don't know, but I'm gunna go see ok?" he smiled at his son to show him that there wasn't a need to worry, "do you know where she is?"
"In the bathroom, but it's locked"
"Thanks bud" Wilson said ruffling Billy's hair, "did you study your spelling words already?"
"No, mom was supposed to help me" Billy told him sadly. Although Wilson and Mary figured he wasn't old enough, he understood most of what had been going on around there the past year. He missed the way Mary had been when her and Wilson had first gotten married. She ignored him for a long time, things were finally getting better, but Billy could tell it was going to change again.
"Don't worry, I'll help you in a minute ok?" he smiled at his son reassuringly, he thought maybe he could convince him that everything was perfectly fine. Wilson wondered if he was trying to fool himself too.
Wilson walked down the hall to the back bedroom. He took off his tie and threw it on the bed. "Mare?" he called, he saw the door was closed, and he heard the sniffling coming from the other side. He couldn't even count how many times he had come home to her like this over the past few months.
Mary heard Wilson, but chose to ignore him. She knew he'd figured out where she was, that water closet in the master bathroom had become Mary's hideaway. Although, it wasn't as much of a secret as she would have hoped. She looked at the door and listened. She half smiled and said under her breath "three.two.one"
Wilson knocked softly," Mary? What's wrong hon? Can I please come in?"
Mary reached out and unlocked the door. When Wilson heard the tiny click he opened the door slowly and stepped inside closing it behind him. He knelt in front of the toilet where Mary sat with her knees drawn into her chest with her head resting on top. She just stared at Wilson without saying anything. She had tears still rolling down her face. They had stopped investing in tissues months ago, with all the crying she did, it was only wasting their money.
Wilson sighed and smiled at her, "Mare, you know you're going to have to say something, or we'll be in here all night."
Mary looked at him blankly, she slowly unfolded herself and reached behind her, she picked the stick up off the top of the toilet and handed it to Wilson. He looked at the two pink lines, and then back up at his wife.
He gulped, "are.are you sure?"
She nodded, and started sobbing again. "Oh, baby come here" Wilson said as he pulled Mary down on to the floor with him. He rocked her gently in his arms; he felt her hot tears hit his neck. Finally after a few minutes, he pulled her off of him to look her in the eyes; he put her face in his hands and wiped her tears with his thumbs. "Mary, this is great you know? We wanted." Mary cried harder and shook her head, "I can't Wilson I cant." she trailed off into sobs again.
They sat on the bathroom floor for a few minutes; Wilson closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall. He stroked Mary's hair and kissed the top of her head. Five or ten minutes later Wilson opened his eyes and realized that Mary was quiet. He moved her hair out of her face to see that she had fallen asleep. He had no idea how long she had been sitting in that bathroom crying. He shifted his weight and tried not to wake her, he reached for the doorknob and tried to open it. It only opened a few inches before hitting Mary's leg. This was going to be much more difficult then he would have thought. He lifted Mary up and leaned her against the opposite wall; she stirred a little but went right back to sleep. He stood and opened the door, picked Mary up and carried her to bed. He tucked her in, just then Billy's little head poked through the door. Wilson turned towards him and put a finger to his lips. Billy did the same and backed out of the doorway.
As Wilson slipped out towards the door Mary woke suddenly, "Wilson?" he turned around and walked back to the bed. "What babe?" Mary's voice began to shake "Wilson.I.I."
He interrupted her, "Mare, shhh..just go to sleep ok? We'll talk about all of this later," He leaned down and kissed her lips gently "I love you, go to sleep."
Mary sniffled, "I love you too." She rolled over and fell back asleep
Wilson walked down the hall to the laundry room, he wanted out of his work clothes, but couldn't risk Mary waking up, she had finally calmed down. He found a shirt and sweatpants in the dryer then walked out to find Billy sitting at the kitchen table looking at his spelling list. He looked up at Wilson, "Daddy, is mom ok? Is everything bad again?" Wilson joined his son at the table, "Yeah everything is going to be just fine" Billy looked relived, but he still wondered, because Mary didn't cry for no reason anymore. Wilson got up and went for the phone on the counter, "since mom is sleeping, how bout we order a pizza and we'll tackle those spelling words?"
Around 7:30 Mary rolled out of bed, her face tight from the dried tears. She slipped quietly down the hall, she found Wilson and Billy sitting at the table, an open pizza box between them.
"Ok Billy, this is the final question," Wilson said in an announcer-like voice pretending to hold a microphone in one hand, while he held Billy's spelling list in the other, "how do you spell hide?"
Billy smiled confidently, "H-I-D," he paused for a moment and Wilson leaned forward, "E!" Billy shouted.
"Correct! We have a winner!" Wilson high-fived Billy.
Mary stepped out of the hallway clapping, "good job!" Wilson whipped around, "oh, you're awake?" Billy got up from the table and walked towards Mary almost frightened.
"Are you ok now?"
"Yeah, I'm feeling much better now, thank you." She help out her arms and Billy gladly accepted them. "It's almost bedtime, so go get in the tub so you can watch the movie we got yesterday ok?" she said pushing him gently towards the bathroom, "don't forget your pajamas," she smiled.
Wilson came up behind Mary and wrapped his arms around her waist. "So are we ok now?" he asked putting his head on top of hers. She pulled him closer, "We will be, I hope" Wilson grabbed Mary's hand and pulled her through the living room and down onto the couch. "So, when will we tell Billy?" he asked her.
Mary started to tear up again, "I don't know, does he really need to know," she laughed to herself, "does anyone need to know?"
"Yes, but we don't have to tell everyone yet," Wilson reassured her, "But I think Billy needs to know, he is the big brother." He felt a tear hit his arm, and he looked down at Mary, "come on babe, he went through all this with us, he understands" Mary nodded wiping her tears, which she was surprised were still falling, she figured she would have run out hours ago.
They sat on the couch for a few minutes until they heard the bathroom door open. Billy walked out in his dinosaur pajamas, his hair wet and spiked. "Hey Billy," Wilson called, "come here for a minute" Mary patted the spot between her and Wilson and Billy snuggled between them.
"Is this about what happened today? Did I make mommy cry?" Billy asked looking at his parents
"Well yes, and no" Mary said pulling him onto her lap, "Billy I'm going to have a baby"
Billy sat quiet, he wasn't sure if he was allowed to be excited. He looked at his father for reassurance and Wilson nodded his head smiling. Billy chose his words carefully in fear of making Mary cry again, "Cool!" he said hugging Mary. He hopped off of her lap, went to the counter to get the movie they had rented. "Can I watch this in your room?" he asked them. Mary nodded, he ran down the hall, but came back quickly, "will you tuck me in later?" Mary nodded again smiling, and little Billy disappeared.
"See, that wasn't so bad, he thinks its cool" Wilson said nudging Mary. Mary laid back down in Wilson's lap. "I don't know if I can Wilson." he stopped her with a kiss, "Oh, but you will."
